Basic Operation Instructions  
REMOTE PLUS CONTROLLER  
The Remote Plus Controller is a fully-programmable, modular electronic controller  
system that allows you to operate your power chair. It is designed to allow the user  
to have complete control over chair movement and speed.  
The controller has been pre-programmed to meet a typical user’s needs. The  
program is set using either a personal computer with software provided by the  
controller manufacturer or with a hand-held programmer, also provided by the  
controller manufacturer.  
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed,  
acceleration, deceleration, dynamic stability, and braking.  
If it is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits  
as determined by your healthcare professional, it can create  
a dangerous situation. Only the power chair manufacturer,  
an authorized representative of the manufacturer, or a trained  
service technician should program the controller.  
PRECAUTIONARY GUIDELINES  
Before operating the Remote Plus Controller, please read the following. These  
guidelines are provided for your benefit and will aid you in the safe operation of  
the controller system.  
! Turn off the power to the controller when transferring to or from your power  
chair.  
! Follow all of the procedures and heed the warnings as explained in your power  
chair owners manual.  
Failure to heed the above warnings can result in personal injury and/or  
equipment damage.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)  
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic  
and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on  
the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.  
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as  
cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV  
stations, amateurradio(HAM)transmitters, wirelesscomputerlinks, microwavesig-  
nals, pagingtransmitters, andmedium-rangemobiletransceiversusedbyemergency  
vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to  
thecontrolsystem. Everyelectrically-poweredmobilityvehiclehasanimmunity(or  
resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against  
EMI. This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.  
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios,  
laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may cause  
unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility  
vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these  
items while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid coming  
into close proximity of radio and TV stations.  
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to  
the electrically-powered mobility vehicle can increase the  
susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your power  
chair in any way not authorized by Pride.  
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself  
can disturb the performance of other electrical devices  
located nearby, such as alarm systems.  
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, go to the Resource Center on  
your controller off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride or your authorized  
Pride Provider to report the incident.

Basic Operation Instructions  
OPERATING THE REMOTE PLUS CONTROLLER  
The Remote Plus Controller is used to operate your power chair and all of its  
components.  
The Remote Plus controller consists of (see figure 2):  
1. joystick  
2. keypad  
3. controller communications connector  
4. 3-pin off-board charger/programming socket  
5. power module  
6. intermediate harness with charger connection  
Joystick Control  
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair. When you  
move the joystick from the neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes  
release and allow your power chair to move. The farther you push the joystick  
from its neutral position, the faster your power chair moves. When you release the  
joystick and allow it to return to the neutral position, you engage the electromag-  
netic brakes. This causes your power chair to decelerate and come to a complete  
stop.  
Keypad  
The keypad is located directly in front of the joystick. It contains keys that you will  
use to control your power chair. See figures 3 and 4.  
On/Off Key  
The on/off key turns the system on and off.  
WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation, do  
not use the on/off key to stop the chair. This will cause the  
power chair to stop abruptly.  
WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary  
to prevent unexpected movement.

electrical system status.  
! Red, yellow, and green lights lit: Batteries charged; controller and electrical  
system OK.  
! Red and yellow lights lit:Charge batteries if possible; controller and electrical  
system OK.  
! Red lights only lit or slow flash: Charge batteries as soon as possible;  
controller and electrical system OK.  
! Rapid flash of lights: The Remote Plus has detected a problem in the electrical  
system and power chair drive operation is inhibited. Refer to Fault Codes.”

SPEED ADJUSTMENT/PROFILE SELECT  
To select a speed setting:  
1. Press the on/off key to power on the controller.  
2. Press the mode key once.  
3. To increase chair speed, push the joystick to the right. Each time you push the  
joystick, you will increase the speed setting in the speed setting indicator.  
4. To decrease chair speed, push the joystick to the left. Each time you push the  
joystick, you decrease the speed setting in the speed setting indicator.  
5. Once you select the desired speed setting, press the mode key once to keep  
the setting or push the joystick in the forward or reverse direction. The chair  
will resume operation at the selected speed.  
NOTE: Drive profiles are set by your authorized Pride Provider. Contact  
your authorized Pride Provider to change a drive profile or change speed  
settings.  
SLEEP MODE  
The Remote Plus Controller features a sleep mode. Sleep mode is a built-in circuit  
that will automatically shut off the main power if the joystick is not moved in any  
direction for a period of time. This time factor is programmed into the controller.  
To restore power and continue, push any key on the control panel.  
THERMAL ROLLBACK  
The Remote Plus Controller is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit which  
monitors the temperature of the chairs motors and controller. If either exceeds  
the safe operating temperature, the controller reduces the output to 50% of full  
operation level. This reduces the chairs speed and allows a cool down period.  
Once the temperature returns to a safe level, the chair will resume normal operation.
